Is there a shopping hub alternative that isn't American or Chinese?
Shopper+, it's not as extensive and no third party resellers, but they're pretty good.
https://www.shopperplus.ca/
For anyone wondering, they have a lot of stuff, mostly generic self-branded stuff. Better than you'd get on Temu, but don't expect very high quality stuff for the low prices that they have.
They have three websites in the same network, shopperplus.ca, 123ink.ca, and primecables.ca
Yooo!!! Thank you for that!
Oh nice, tysm
for books, there is leslibraires.ca!
they work with local, independent bookstores instead of having their own stock, which is a much better idea than amazon imo
Know if any place to get audiobooks. I mean now I get on my boat but if a local Canadian company was offering.
unfortunately no I don’t know where to get audiobooks, sorry 😅
It's not quite what you were asking for, but libro.fm -- which is American -- does give part of its profit from sales to a bookstore of your choosing, and you can select Canadian bookstores to receive that benefit. Not sure what the cut looks like exactly though.
Well.ca for health and beauty
Shopping "hub"? No. But online Canadian shops still exist, they are separated into niches though.
You can either choose the monopoly controlling the entire market and abusing their staff, or smaller companies that you have to spend an extra minute searching up.
On China, most of your stuff is coming from China anyways. This is a neutral fact, not good or bad. Just a truth of globalization. China can manufacture things cheaply, so almost everything is manufactured there in 2025.
